Hiker Impaled by Pole Treks 10 Miles Down Mountain to Safety

David Cifaldi was hiking with friends on Montana's Granite Peak when a dangerous accident happened. He slipped and fell, and his own trekking pole impaled him.

Remarkably, the pole missed all of his major organs. Instead of calling for a helicopter rescue, Cifaldi decided to walk down the mountain himself. He hiked 10 miles on foot to reach safety.

instead of -ing= 沒有⋯而是⋯ / 而不是⋯

Cifaldi is a professional wound care nurse. Throughout the ordeal, he stayed calm and used his medical training to assess and manage his serious injury until he reached help.
